112 - This be ever my confession

Lyrics

1. This be ever my confession, my concern, the earnest question: Does the Lord reign in my heart? Am I in His grace abiding, is His Holy Spirit guiding, that from Him I may not part? That from Him I may not part?
2. Do I truly live in Jesus, on the vine both strong and vig'rous, drawing life and sap from Him? Is my love for Him inspiring, cross and sorrow not denying, putting all my trust in Him? Putting all my trust in Him?
3. Is He with me when I wander, when I stand or sit and ponder, till His face I clearly see? Of my heart has He possession to resist and fight aggression, gaining life and liberty? Gaining life and liberty?
4. Do I love Christ Jesus only? Or has worldly lust grown in me, tempting me here to transgress? Of His grace have I partaken, have I worldly things forsaken? Would I Him alone possess? Would I Him alone possess?
